The Committee Support Team

Committee Support is headed by Sharon Orton (Governance Manager) supported by Lisa Williams and Sarah Hanks (Committee Support Coordinators) and a small team of administrative and distribution staff. See our Contact Us Page for more detailed information.

Committee Support provides effective and efficient support to the University in its pursuit of excellence in teaching and research. Much of our work is focussed on the smooth running of the committees that underpin the governance of the University. We also act as the co-ordinating division for the provision and distribution of general information for staff and committee members.

Our main function is to co-ordinate the business and arrangements for the main committee meetings. This includes the Calendar of Meetings, membership of committees,and printing and distribution of all committee papers.

All amendments to the Charter, Statutes, Ordinances are considered by Senate and approved by Council. Current versions are available from our Governance Page .
